- Conditions
- Psoriasis VulgarisActive Psoriatic Arthritis
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT05499416
- Lead Sponsor
- Innovaderm Research Inc.
- Brief Summary
This is an open-label study to evaluate the effects of bimekizumab in patients with psoriasis vulgaris and who also have active psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
- Detailed Description
This study is being conducted to evaluate the effects of bimekizumab administered subcutaneously (SC) to patients with psoriasis vulgaris and who also have active PsA who have an inadequate skin response to anti-interleukin (IL)23 therapy. Approximately 20 adult subjects with psoriasis vulgaris and active PsA who have an inadequate skin response to anti-IL23 will receive bimekizumab 320 mg solution administered SC every 4 weeks for 16 weeks.

- Patient with active PsA as defined by ≥ 1 joint that is tender (TJC68) and/or swollen (SJC66) at Day 1.
- Female who is breastfeeding, pregnant, or who is planning to become pregnant during the study or within 4 months after the last study product administration.
- Patient with evidence of erythrodermic, pustular, predominantly guttate psoriasis, or drug-induced psoriasis.
- Patient with any known clinically significant medical condition or presence of a skin or rheumatologic disease that would, in the opinion of the investigator, put the patient at undue risk or interfere with the interpretation of study results.
- Patient who plans to receive a live or live-attenuated vaccine during the study and up to 4 weeks or 5 half-lives (of the study product), whichever is longer, after the last study product administration.
- Patient with an active infection (except common cold) that would place them at increased risk, a recent serious infection, or a history of opportunistic, recurrent, or chronic infections.
- Patient with a diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis).
- Patient with known or suspected hypersensitivity to bimekizumab or any component of the investigational product, including any nonmedicinal ingredient, or component of the container.
- Patient who has received any marketed or investigational biological agent, except anti-IL23 agents, within 12 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to Day 1.
- Patient who has received treatment with bimekizumab prior to Day 1.

Group Intervention Description Bimekizumab 320 mg SC injections Bimekizumab Bimekizumab 320 mg solution administered via SC injections every 4 weeks for 16 weeks.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Proportion of patients achieving MDA Week 24 A patient will be considered to have achieved MDA when meeting 5/7 of the following criteria: tender joints count ≤ 1; swollen joints count ≤ 1; Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) ≤ 1 or body surface area (BSA) ≤ 3%; patient pain visual analog scale (VAS) ≤ 15 mm; patient's global assessment of arthritis visual analog scale (PtGA VAS) ≤ 20 mm; Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) ≤ 0.5; tender entheseal points ≤ 1.
Physician Global Assessment (PGA) x Body Surface Area (BSA) Week 24 The product of physician's global assessment and body surface area (PGA×BSA) is a measure of psoriasis severity (0-400), with higher scores indicating more severe disease.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Physician Global Assessment (PGA) Weeks 12 and 24 The PGA is a global assessment of the current state of the disease. It is a 5-point (0-4) morphological assessment of overall disease severity, with higher scores indicating more severe disease.
Body Surface Area (BSA) Weeks 12 and 24 The overall BSA affected by psoriasis vulgaris will be evaluated (from 0% to 100%).
Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada Enthesitis Index (SPARCC) Week 24 The SPARCC Enthesitis Index is a composite score that quantifies the extent of tenderness at 16 sites on a dichotomous basis.
Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Weeks 12 and 24 The PASI is a composite score that considers the degree of erythema, induration/infiltration, and desquamation (each scored from 0 to 4 separately) for each of 4 body regions.
American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Week 24 The ACR is a composite including the number of tender and number of swollen joints, patient's global assessment of arthritis visual analog scale (PtGA VAS), physician global assessment visual analog scale (MDGA VAS), Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI), patient pain visual analog scale (VAS), and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. The proportion of patients achieving ACR20, ACR50, and ACR70 will be calculated.
Swollen joints count (SJC) Week 24 The level of swelling at 66 joints (SJC66) will be assessed and the counts recorded. The swollen joints count can range between 0 and 66 and represents the sum of the total number of swollen joints.
Physician's Global Assessment of Arthritis Visual Analogue Scale (MDGA VAS) Week 24 The physician's global assessment of disease activity will be measured using 100-mm VAS scale with anchor statements on the left (none) and on the right (extremely active).
Leeds Enthesitis Index (LEI) Week 24 The LEI is an enthesitis index that involves evaluation of tenderness at 6 examination points/sites bilaterally. The LEI score can range between 0 and 6, with higher scores indicating more enthesis sites.
Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) Weeks 12 and 24 The HAQ-DI is a patient questionnaire that evaluates the degree of disability and pain index over the past week. The HAQ-DI score can range between 0 and 3, with higher scores indicating more disability and pain.
Tender joints count (TJC) Week 24 The tenderness of 68 joints (TJC68) will be assessed and the counts recorded.
Patient's Assessment of Arthritis Pain Visual Analogue Scale (patient pain VAS) Week 24 The patient's assessment of pain will be measured using 100-mm VAS scale with anchor statements on the left (no pain) and on the right.
Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) Weeks 12 and 24 The FACIT-F is a 13-item measure, which be used to assess fatigue and its impact on daily activities and function in the past 7 days. The FACIT-F score can range between 0 and 52, with higher scores indicating less fatigue.
Patient's Global Assessment of Arthritis Visual Analogue Scale (PtGA VAS) Week 24 The patient's global assessment of disease activity will be measured using 100-mm VAS scale with anchor statements on the left (very well) and on the right (very poorly).
Dactylitis Count Week 24 Dactylitis is characterized by diffuse swelling of a finger and/or toe.
Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) Weeks 12 and 24 The BASDAI is a self-administered instrument that measures severity of fatigue/tiredness, spinal and peripheral joint pain, localized tenderness, and morning stiffness. The BASDAI score can range between 0 and 10, with higher scores indicating worse disease control.
